According to the event's Facebook page, the continued bitter cold is the reason for the rescheduling. Out of concern for plungers as well as the volunteers at the event things are being moved to a warmer date.

That date has not yet been revealed, but they ask that those planning to plunge check back in on their Facebook page and with the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation to learn more.

Though this Fairhaven plunge is free to do, the event raises money for Fairhaven Dollars for Scholars with the sale of their t-shirts.

Those shirts will still be sold at Days Health & Sports on Saturday December 20th from 2 p.m. - 4 p.m. and donations will be accepted at that time as well.
